I grew up Christian, and denounced it all at age 15 for atheism. Later, I ended up becoming very spiritual (but not religious, more like Taoist/Buddhist). That's when I started to realize there are nuances like this.
Admittedly, I almost did write down Christian, but I changed it 'cause of exactly what you say. It isn't fair to the actual Christ-like that exist out there, and it's not only Christian denominations behaving this way.
It sucks that religion in general is being used by the vile controllers to manipulate, and I wish there were more folks like you that actually questioned things and lifted the veil for themselves. Seems to me that, at least southern baptists, are practically trained to never question authority and always take information at face value if the person giving that information simply claims they are Christian. Same people believe that you should keep sex and drug information from your children, instead of preparing them for the good and bad of each they may encounter in the world.
I am heartbroken and ashamed at how many people I once thought good and decent, who have fallen for this lie and follow such a disgraceful monster.
Yea... it especially sucks when its your parents. We used to do fun things together, now I have to hide everything about who I am.
They retained a large portion of their staff and are still headquartered in Toronto, though.
Oh damn, I hadn't heard of that with the Avowed thing. That's a Bethesda/Microsoft sleezeball move right there.
I think people in general need to just default to "finding content another way", because companies should never be given the benefit of the doubt IMO.
Case in point is Obsidian, they are supposed to be one of the good ones.
Should definitely be. My mother has the Paper White 6" and I am able to transfer all my zlib EPUB and MOBIs through USB with no issues.
Nevermind, I think I misunderstood and you meant it more like, "We'll see how long they allow this feature"
(and for whatever reason strikethrough markdown isn't working...)
On the one hand, you're right.
But also, there's a chance that Barron opens his eyes and sees how sheltered he is from everything, and that his only friends are people slightly less rich, and much older, than he is.
I know it's not likely, so far all the trump progeny have been less useful than human shit, but I think there's still a chance that Barron gets depressed because he "has it all" and can't even play basketball with a potential new friend his own age.
ETA: damn, I guess Lemmy thinks a child should always pay for the sins of their father, huh?
From the article:
Of course he’s famous and sought-after — he’s a Trump. People would book Eric as a clown at their kid’s birthday party if he wasn’t so afraid of being his true self. Everyone wants to be close to a famous person, and people who want to curry favor with Donald Trump will say any manner of sweet nothings about his children.
ETA: although I chuckled at the above statement, this author is biased as shit. All his articles are nothing but Reddit-style fan service and exhaustively regurgitated comments. He even perpetuates the couch fucker lie in other articles. Everything reads like he's trying to make the best joke in order to get his karma numbers up.
Even though I lean left, I wouldn't trust anything this guy has to say and would do extra research before I took it seriously.
I've never used it, but curious myself what the benefits are.
Seems too easy to just hop on tor, login, and download.
IMO, err on the side of caution and just don't use it.
Sounds like my parents' pastor
Unfortunately, they are not 100% the problem. Certain groups of loyal citizens put them there.
So while I agree, fuck every politician in office, let's not forget to give credit where credit is due to the "american" people.
And don't tell me those same people are just brainwashed. No, those same people would have put a fascist in power regardless of how educated they are. Evangelicals are just clueless and even the smart ones suck cheeto dick.
Interesting site. I already snagged a Kobo, but I'll definitely keep this in mind for other stuff!
DDG partnered with Microsoft which allows Microsoft to ignore the tracking protections in the iOS and Android browsers, all in the name of serving you "relevant ads" like that's something I want. They can make all the soothing claims they want, I won't use them ever again.

Try SearXNG, It aggregates from several search engines into one result list with no tracking. Also FOSS.
Ahh, looks like Canada native company started by Indigo, bought by Rakuten in 2011. At least their HQ and all is still in Toronto, didn't get gutted by the buyout.
I'd never heard of these, thanks! I been trying to find old Kindles for sale, but this looks like a much better choice.
ETA: they're also a Canadian company, win-win
I was ruined by What.CD, haven't been able to find a satisfactory one since.
But also, with streaming services and smaller file sizes, torrenting isn't as necessary. I haven't seen these two listed, so here you go. Each site has a few options and server locations, so you just need to try the different ones until you know which one works. Some offer FLAC, some MP3 320.
For me, Lucida.to searching Amazon seems to be the most reliable.
I've been wondering the same. I think I'm in the 1-2 year mark currently.
Please, just get it over with already
